Yep, that's why the NRA and congressmen flipped out when they started open carryin in the late 60s/early 70s which lead to increased gun control
The NRA was for increased gun control?
And, FTR, brah - "gun control" in this country originated in the Reconstruction/post-Reconstruction era by Democrats to disarm the militias of the freedmen. At least that is the genesis of the modern gun control movement as we know it.
Which is why it is concentrated in heavily black, urban areas - by and large, with few exceptions. Obviously whole states are now anti-gun - but, for example, crazy, ultra liberal Vermont has virtually no gun restrictions - whatsoever. But that is the lily-white state of the lily-white states. Only comparable, I guess would be crazy hippie, liberal Montana - again, almost no restrictions on guns (and almost no black folks, either).
But, you're close - it is racial, but didn't nearly originate in the 60s.
So, you want to join the NRA or GOA now? #FightThePower

My family owned hundreds. So I guess I'm the guy they are looking for. Somehow I'm not afraid.

My great-great-great-grandfather fought for the Confederacy but didn't own slaves. He just had a bunch of children who worked the farm instead. Is that still worthy of a death sentence?
I had another who fought for the Union (and several immigrant families who weren't involved). That's gotta balance it out right?

In 1860 only a small minority of whites owned slaves.
In fact, in 1830 a fourth of the free BLACK slave masters in South Carolina owned 10 or more slaves; eight owning 30 or more
Blacks residing in the South, 261,988 were not slaves. 10,689 lived in New Orleans. The country's leading African American historian, records that in New Orleans over 3,000 free Negroes owned slaves, or 28 percent of the free Negroes in that city.
In 1860 there were at least six Negroes in Louisiana who owned 65 or more slaves The largest number, 152 slaves, were owned by the widow C. Richards and her son P.C. Richards, who owned a large sugar cane plantation.
Another Negro slave magnate in L,, with over 100 slaves, was Antoine Dubuclet, a sugar planter whose estate was valued at (in 1860 dollars) $264,000. That year, the mean wealth of southern white men was $3,978
In 1860 William Ellison was South Carolina's largest Negro slaveowner. He owned over 350 acres, and more than 900 by 1860. He raised mostly cotton, with a small acreage set aside for cultivating foodstuffs to feed his family and slaves. In 1840 he owned 30 slaves, and by 1860 he owned 63. His sons, who lived in homes on the property, owned an additional nine slaves

Antoine Dubuclet,
He was one of the wealthiest men, white or black, in Louisiana at the time the war broke out. The Civil War destroyed much of the sugar industry, particularly in Louisiana, and he was impoverished.
As a Republican during reconstruction, he was the first black person to hold the office of Treasurer of Louisiana. When the Crescent City White League staged a minor coup d'état - Dubuclet was the only statewide official allowed to retain his office.
One of my personal heroes, flawed though he was.
